    Given enough time an asteroid could be painted white etc, and the pressure of the suns rays hitting the surface would deflect the 'to be' impactor enough to miss the earth. Or of course it could likewise be used to target earth with the roid, lets call the bfr wormwood. (google it)

    Or a slightly heavy spacecraft could be parked near the roid' or iron rich meteor, comet etc and the ship mass would gently slowly tug the roid’ out of or to an earth impacting trajectory. Despite the intent either action could be dangerous because the time needed to deflect a moderately large roid' such as Apophis, a 27-gigaton rock that is expected to pass close to Earth in 2029 and in 2036 is about 20 years. Oh about eight to ten tons of paint would be needed.

    As a Christian Zionest I am all for Israel taking what is hers just as every other nation on earth has took theirs. Israel has title to her nation by war and by Gods covenant. How else do you think that tiny nation can survive as long as she has surroended by enemies that want to wipe her off the map? I also believe the USA was made a superpower by (spiritual) manifest to protect Israel (and other reasons of course). However unnecessary police brutality by Israeli agents etc must cease.

    Touché. Actually, several Russian lawmakers already announced their suspicions, the meteorite was American.

    Oh bah! God didn't create the U.S. for Israel, it created it so the world can eat. Of course now we're feeding it junk, but what the h*ck, they're eating aren't they? :knifefork:

    I'm telling you the gods are angry. Just look at where their rocks are being thrown at. Hmmm! I wonder what was going on in the Urals? :confuse:

    Fireball seen above San Francisco

    A bright fireball has reportedly been seen in the sky over the San Francisco Bay Area, ABC news said citing several witness accounts. The report comes one day after a meteorite fell in Russian Urals, causing widespread panic. Around 1200 people were injured as an air blast from the meteorite explosion smashed windows and damaged some buildings.

    this wouldn't be it. meteors that do explode do it because the pressure from moving thru the atmosphere becomes greater than the tensile strength of the rock and it shatters. this one lost it 12-25k above ground. the air is pretty thin up there.

    Your last two sentences are spot on. Particularly the last one, especially if the israeli state desires peace with its neighbors. But prophecy doesn't agree with the future prospect of peace so I guess I'll take off my rose tinted glasses now.

    Oh yeah, let's just stick with the necessary Israeli police brutality that everybody is familiar with.


    The ol' ' spiritual manifest ' was a tad slow in protecting jews from the Nazis, wasn't it- or is the ol' ' spiritual manifest ' more interested in the physical Palestine than in those that occupy it .

    Sounds like it's more a case of the ol' real estate agent in the sky applying collective punishment as a means to illegally grab land and property.

    Were there any tribes on earth that did not grab someone else's land at one time or another? If the original people were not massacred or turned into slaves, then I wouldn't complain. You do know the land the Arabs are on belonged to the Byzantine Empire? :confuse:

    If anything make a defense system to repel the extraterrestrial alien invasion force, which you could also use for space rocks if you need to.

    They're working on it probably..They've got drones but they are making robot soldiers and stuff like that too. But believe me you don't want that.. We're sort of starting to build our own "skynet" right now.. Hopefully we won't be stupid as the fictional people who give it control of nukes. It's still at the early stages though.

    Dude, I wish martians were real, and they were trying to kill us. That way we'd quit trying to kill each other and focus on whacking martians.

    Apparently there was some kind of impact that happened on some farmland in Kansas, the town of Smallville to be exact. The owners of the farm that was impacted, Johnathan and Martha Kent, said all was well and quickly escorted the camera crew off their farm. Well, probably nothing important really happened there anyway.

    In such case, it's going so fast that it can be broken by air! A tiny object like an air molecule can do hefty damage if it (or what it hits as it doesn't matter) is traveling that fast, via force & friction.. Crazy stuff!

    I'd imagine that would have to be very precise, and without information precise enough it would have a margin of error to make too much risk of it backfiring.. Like it winds up hitting the wrong place.. Oops!

    Would that FINALLY be enough to unite the left and the right!??!

    I could imagine it now "you lefties just want to give these extraterrestrial aliens food stamps and amnesty".. "no, you righties just want to outlaw our legal right to marry an alien from outer space".

    The aliens would be a bit puzzled as to why the vermin want to attack each other.. "Oh this should be easy! And here we thought there was intelligent life on this planet!".
